Takeaways from the game:
Change of system finally and it worked - had chances to kill the game and didn’t (story of our season)
Woltemade gets the start most fans been crying for and had glimpses but doesn’t take chance
Wissa needs sold
Burn is finished at Lb (obvious for ages)
@jabbinho@LukeEdwardsTele At least try it, think most fans are just annoyed at the lack of ideas when it’s screaming out to us how much we need a 10. We have one which Bayern wanted and aren’t using him properly.
@jabbinho@LukeEdwardsTele Start as he did, half time with joelinton on a yellow I’d bring him off for woltemade. Miley and tonali in a 2, then Gordon wolte and barnes behind wissa. Gordon wasn’t great today either so I’d also do the elanga sub for him and have him back where he should be on the left
@CraigHope_DM Should ask Eddie if his team is playing the same way for both strikers despite being polar opposites, first part of season wissa is out so team moulds around woltemade. Now wissa is back, yet we are still playing like woltemade is on the pitch when he isn’t with crosses 24/7
@DavidInnes31700@LukeEdwardsTele On top in what way? We created nothing in that second half, Villa looked a threat every attack they had. We scream out for a different way of playing in certain games, those games being breaking teams down when they sit deep and hit us on the counter, as Villa did today
@LukeEdwardsTele It’s a constant cycle of win it back, get to the final third, pass it around the opposition box, cross it, and repeat. We all know the like for like subs are coming around 60 minutes. If we see that as fans, how easy is it for the managers in the opposition dugout to react to
@LukeEdwardsTele Would you be able to ask him why when chasing the game once again continue with predictable like for like subs? Why not change it up? I know what he said about “plan b’s” but my god are we screaming out for one. We are too predictable in all aspect of our game.
This makes #NUFC cup loss even worse given this and their result against Man Utd. They were there for the taking yet we, as usual, couldn’t take our few chances. This isn’t the city of old, and we shouldn’t just take the L cos it’s Man City
🚨There's only one thing we're interested in and that's catching bent coppers🚨 oh, and another series of Line of Duty #LOD7@BBC @Vicky_McClure @martin_compston#AdrianDunbar
Just compare the starting 11s of us ans the last 2 opposition and then look at the difference in performances. Worrying.
Best player this season is Thiaw fwiw
Need to rant still about yesterday about #NUFC and the state of this season.
First thing is Dan burn. Not one single NUFC fan wanted Dan burn to stay on the pitch yesterday at half time, never mind after he got booked. All on Howe and his loyalty to certain players.
I am concerned where our next points come from never mind the derby. Been ahead twice in 2 games and lost 3-1 in both. It’s a mentality issue, why are we sitting back EVERY time going ahead to weaker opposition.
